20 Course Content What is an Engineer? An engineer is someone who uses maths and the sciences to mess with the world once you mess with the world, you are responsible for the mess you ve made (Final year Engineering Student at an American University, 2008)

21 What is an Engineer? An engineer applies scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems derived from the Latin ingeniare (to contrive, devise) and ingenium (cleverness) Engineers solve problems (cost effectively)
